The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me Chapter 123

Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning had to catch a flight overnight, and then travelled to Funan County without rest. They hadn’t slept all night, and although they were young enough to withstand staying up all night, they were inevitably a little tired.

Especially Ji Mingxia, although he was angry, the car was shaking, and under the combined effect of fatigue and motion sickness, he gradually became docile and yawned several times in a row.

Seeing Yu Ning quietly reading on his mobile phone, Ji Mingxia could not help but recall the scene when they rode the bus to the suburbs.

At that time, he was still thinking of showing his strength as a boyfriend, but he now understood that, in this aspect of car rides, he would never have the chance to show his strength.

After an exhausting night, Ji Mingxia was drowsy, but Yu Ning still had the energy to read boring documents.

There was no comparison with this person!

Anyway, he had slept through it last time, so it wasn’t embarrassing to do it again.

With this thought, Ji Mingxia shamelessly whispered to Yu Ning, “Yu Ning, I’ll take a nap, wake me up if you need anything.”

“Okay.” Yu Ning said.

Ji Mingxia leaned back and closed his eyes without hesitation.

Once he fell asleep, Yu Ning stretched out his hand and gently held Ji Mingxia’s chin, helping him lean on his shoulder to sleep comfortably. After confirming that Ji Mingxia was comfortable, Yu Ning continued to look down at his phone.

The chattering girls felt no movement from Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning’s side and couldn’t help but glance towards them.

When they found that Ji Mingxia had fallen asleep on Yu Ning, several of them looked at each other and their faces showed an expression of interest.

Although both Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia were wearing masks, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were both good-looking.

Especially Yu Ning who had delicate eyebrows and eyes like ink painting. He had thin and straight nasal bones, and the upper half of his face that was not hidden in the mask showed he was a handsome man.

Although they had just had an unpleasant chat with Ji Mingxia, they were still impressed by Ji Mingxia’s easy going nature.

When Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia first got into the car together, they treated the two as the same kind of people.

One of the girls looked at Yu Ning and asked curiously, “Handsome guy, are you two a couple?”

At her words, not only the rest of her companions, but also the driver couldn’t help but glance in their direction through the rear-view mirror.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Yu Ning, yet the person in question acted as if he hadn’t heard, and didn’t react.

The car was silent for a few seconds, the girl waited for a moment, and realized that she was being ignored.

She looked at her companions in embarrassment, and to save face, the girl couldn’t help but say, “I’m sure it is, which straight guys stick together like that. I saw you when you first got in the car, you opened the door for him, blocked the roof of the car, and unscrewed the water bottle for him. You ignored the beautiful girls in the car, so you must be bent. Wouldn’t you be upset that he likes Yu Ning? It’s said that—“

Halfway through the girl’s sentence, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, as if something cold had burrowed into her limbs and seeped into her bones.

She shivered and looked up to see her companions shaking their heads at her.

The girl only felt the hair on her body standing on end. She looked aside to find that Yu Ning had put his phone down at some point and was looking at her coldly.

The exquisitely beautiful eyes were unlike those of a living person. The black pupils that seemed like large and glassy beads made her feel like she was looking into a black hole.

Although only half of his face was exposed, his skin looked pale and bloodless, which made the eyes look more intense and eerie.

It was the darkest time before dawn, and the car was passing through the suburbs. Outside the window were the dim shadows of farmlands and trees, the whole place was cold and desolate.

When she looked back inside the car, Yu Ning did not look like a living person, and a chill swept over her. The girl unconsciously shut her mouth and did not dare to go on.

Yu Ning saw her stop and lowered his head to continue reading on his phone.

Although he had averted his gaze, the eerie feeling did not fade away.

Not only her, but also several others dared not speak. They simply lowered their heads and communicated on their mobile phones.

The car quickly fell into silence, leaving only the sound of the wind sweeping by as the car moved.

In the car, only Ji Mingxia, who had already fallen asleep, slept better in the silent atmosphere.

It was only when the car arrived in Furnan County and stopped in the centre of the county that Ji Mingxia’s eyes opened in a daze.

The girls silently and quickly got out of the car and left, and in less than a minute, the car was mostly empty.

Ji Mingxia looked up and noticed that there was no one else in the car, and when he looked out of the window, he saw the familiar hometown, and asked Yu Ning, “Are we there yet?”

“We’re in Funan County, we won’t reach Banana Leaf Village until dawn, go back to sleep.” Yu Ning whispered.

Ji Mingxia nodded and was just about to close his eyes when he caught sight of something outside the window.

Ji Mingxia’s expression froze, and his eyes widened. He looked out the window in the direction of the school and exclaimed, “Yu Ning, is that our high school over there?”

Yu Ning followed Ji Mingxia’s gaze and indeed saw the school gate of the high school, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

“How strange ……,” Ji Mingxia muttered as he stared at the high school gate.

Yu Ning didn’t see anything unusual, and he looked at Ji Mingxia suspiciously, “What’s strange?”

“I don’t know, but I feel like there’s something inside, something drawing me there. I want to go in and take a look ……” Ji Mingxia said slowly, and after he finished, he also felt that this feeling was inexplicable, so he looked back and smiled at Yu Ning, “Maybe it’s been too long since I’ve been back so I just miss high school. Especially the dormitory, that’s where we first met, do you want to go take a look?”

Before Yu Ning could answer, the driver returned to the car after sending off the girls.

After noticing that Ji Mingxia had woken up, the driver said, “You’re awake, those fans got off the car so I’ll send you two to Banana Leaf Village next. I want to finish things early and go back to catch up on my sleep.”

When Ji Mingxia heard this, he naturally did not want to bother the driver by getting off.

Because he was focused on the school and the driver, Ji Mingxia didn’t notice that Yu Ning’s expression changed slightly when he said “that’s where we first met”.

It was not until the school was no longer in sight that Ji Mingxia turned his head and found Yu Ning staring at him. Thinking that Yu Ning also wanted to go back to school, Ji Mingxia whispered, “Let’s first go to the village. We’ll go take a look on our way back to H University.”

Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia who was unaware of what he had revealed before withdrawing his gaze and nodding slowly.

Ji Mingxia had just slept, and seeing that he was not far from Banana Leaf Village, he did not close his eyes again.

The early morning light penetrated the darkness and fell on the mountains. At about seven o’clock, the car stopped at the entrance of Banana Leaf Village.

After saying goodbye to the driver, Ji Mingxia opened the door and got out of the car first, followed by Yu Ning with his backpack, and the two slowly walked into the Banana Leaf Village.

“This is the place where I grew up.” Ji Mingxia introduced Yu Ning as they walked, “Here used to be Zhou Tao’s mini-supermarket, my house is right in front of it, guess which one it is?”

“The one with the red lock.” Yu Ning said.

Ji Mingxia looked at him in surprise, “How did you guess?”

“You mentioned it to me before.” Yu Ning said.

Ji Mingxia could not remember such details. He and Yu Ning took off their masks and he led him up to the gate. He carefully unlocked the gate As he instructed Yu Ning, “It’s cold in winter, so grandma is probably still sleeping. We’ll first go in, clean the house, do all the chores that we can, and then greet grandma! “

“Okay.” Yu Ning said good-naturedly.

Ji Mingxia nodded in satisfaction, feeling that the plan he had in mind was perfect.

While Grandma Ji was sleeping, he and Yu Ning would clean the house, so that she would not be angry when she woke up if she found that he had brought someone back.

When the gate opened, Ji Mingxia took the lead and entered, and Yu Ning closed the gate behind him.

They crossed the courtyard and opened the wooden door. Ji Mingxia was just about to put the mineral water bottle in his hand on the coffee table, when he looked up and saw Grandma Ji sitting on the sofa.

Grandma Ji suddenly saw a man poking his head in, and when she looked closely, she realised it was Ji Mingxia and her eyes widened.

After being surprised, something occurred to Grandma Ji and her face suddenly sank, “Didn’t you say you weren’t coming back?”

As soon as Ji Mingxia saw the look on her face, he cried out in his heart.

He didn’t expect his grandmother to get up so early, instead of giving her surprise, she had brought him shock.

From Grandma’s demeanour and expression, it was clear that she was in a very, very bad mood today!

This was bringing a gun to the head!

Ji Mingxia hurriedly said, “Grandma, I had something to do yesterday, so I couldn’t come back during the day, but I changed my ticket to an evening flight. I thought it was pointless to stay at school, so I came home overnight. I haven’t seen you for a few months but you look much younger, I missed you so much!”

Ji Mingxia said as he fluttered to his grandmother with wide open arms, ready to use all his strength to start pleasing her.

But to his surprise, Grandma Ji, who had always eaten up his hug, was not her usual self today.

Not only did she not accept Ji Mingxia’s hug, she even took out a walking stick from the side and put it between her and Ji Mingxia.

Grandma Ji stared at Ji Mingxia and asked with a stern face, “Did you see some news and came back on purpose? Arriving home at this time means that you took a midnight flight, and rode for several hours to get to Banana Leaf Village. You stayed up all night and day, and probably didn’t eat well. Ji Mingxia, did you come back for him?”

Ji Mingxia looked at his grandmother’s stern look and felt a little panic in his heart.

‘Grandma Ji’s words…… could it be that she already knew about Yu Ning?’

Grandma was old and usually loved to watch TV and never surfed the internet.

Could it be that Yu Ning’s family affairs had fermented so quickly, that not only were there people discussing it online, it was even on the TV news?!

Ji Mingxia was so shocked that he opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything.

Grandma Ji saw Ji Mingxia’s guilty and defeated look, and couldn’t help but grip the cane in her hand, raise it with anger and knock it hard on the ground in front of her: “It’s been so long, but you still haven’t figured it out? Grandma has never opposed you, and I don’t want to interfere with your life, but why can’t you see the true nature of others and love yourself?”

Ji Mingxia thought that his grandmother was going to hit him with a cane, and his eyes closed involuntarily.

At that moment, Yu Ning brought Ji Mingxia behind him, while saying to Grandma Ji, “Hello Grandma, this matter is my fault, so I will leave soon, please don’t scold Mingxia anymore.”

On seeing a stranger in her home and holding Ji Mingxia, Grandma Ji asked warily, “Who are you?”

Ji Mingxia hurriedly opened his eyes and said to Grandma Ji, “Grandma, he is Yu Ning.”

“Yu Ning?” Grandma Ji froze.
